The requirement of managing an LDAP or AD directory service just to get some auth for NFS is a dealbreaker for like 99% of people. It’s such a dumb protocol for the average user and was designed with only huge corporate clients in mind.

Just give people a simple password auth or let them exchange private/public keys between the devices that need to connect!

How are you running Beehaw? At least on my Proxmox VMs I can take a snapshot in a few seconds thanks to ZFS having it built in and QEMU guest agent letting the host ensure the guest is properly stopped quickly.

Is bluesky also activity pub?

Ah, I see, well thank you.

Why are you trying to maintain an instance list? Just ask the user to input their instance URL. It will simplify the code and make it extensible to self-hosted instances and you don’t have to try to list every lemmy instance in existance.

I cannot fathom what a respectable website would need with a port scan. They should normally just be listening to/broadcasting on 80/443. Is it looking to see if the normal html ports are remapped? That’s the only reason I could imagine.

It’s a script that you put in place of the raw url of a bookmark in your browser. For these ones here you’d make a new bookmark and past in the script there (adjusting the fediverse url for your home community so it can correctly redirect you) and it runs some (usually) javascript that manipulates the page your on in a way to direct you to the asked for location.

Its a much more lightweight way to do a single thing if that’s all you’re needing and since you can see the code you can also be sure, unlike a chrome plugin, that it’s not doing other weird stuff.

Finally, I can create a true American city filled with parking garages everywhere and a desolate downtown filled with office towers that sits vacant in the evening and weekends.

Yeah you can copy and paste images into a note just fine.

I find Nix to be a really esoteric platform that completely inscrutable to a regular user. The people who do use it are extremely hostile to any tools that simplify the experience for the end user like Fleek. I would not recommend it for ANY regular user in any way, shape, or form.

Joplin is great. It can’t do the handwritten notes like onenote as far as I know, but otherwise I think it’s got pretty good feature parity. You can sync it using an existing nextcloud, WebDAV, or even onedrive or dropbox if you don’t want to deal with the hassle of self-hosting at all.

Neat, that should get it open in a week or two at most rather than months like it would have been for proper repairs.

I’m a fan of Lawnchair. I used KISS for a while but it honestly had my typing out searches a bunch rather than being able to quickly navigate by muscle memory. I do their their tags though as it makes trying to find that app you forgot the name of easier. Provided you go through the effort of given them tags up front.

They won’t leave a single boot unlicked

Also, if you want to actually learn, I would strongly recommend against using Docker containers for everything. Besides being stuck with what the developers prefer, all the work of installing things is already done.

I really disagree on this point. You should use docker or podman (preferably Podman) to containerize your applications on your server to keep them ephemeral and separated from the host OS wherever possible. This improves security, makes setups reproducible, and eases backup and restore procedure. If you want to build from source do so with a containerfile/docker file to keep your build environment fresh and clean.

you can also self-host a language tool instance and point the extension to that instead of their official instance.
